Seattle Municipal Tower, High-rise office building in downtown Seattle, United States

The Seattle Municipal Tower rises 220 meters into the sky with 62 floors of glass and steel construction in the heart of downtown Seattle.

The building, completed in 1990 and initially known as AT&T Gateway Tower, was purchased by the City of Seattle in 1996 to centralize government operations.

The tower's public spaces feature rotating art exhibitions by local artists, creating a connection between municipal administration and community expression.

Multiple city departments occupy the building's floors, which are accessed through a system of elevators divided into separate zones for efficient vertical transportation.

The structure incorporates a freeway onramp beneath its foundation while its top features a glass cupola illuminating the elevator equipment area.
